Twin-Spindle CNC Chucker Cuts Production Time
Muratec USA, a subsidiary of Murata Machinery, offers the MW120GT twin-spindle CNC chucker.

Cell Loader Systems Bring Flexibility to Sheet-Metal Automation
The fully automated FG series cell loader systems from Murata uses servo-control technology for axis drive, programmable parts-stacking patterns and integrated Fanuc-based FMS-control systems for increased flexibility in sheet-metal automation.

Cell Loader/Unloader Handles Variety of Runs
The F1G 1250 cell loader/unloader is designed to enable sheet metal fabricators to handle both short and long runs of virtually any size and part variety, while reducing post-process or secondary operations.

Multitasking, Twin-Spindle Turning Machine
The MT200G/T3, a multitasking, twin-spindle turning machine with three turrets and gantry loader, is designed for facilities running complex parts and various part types on one machine.

Laser Cutting, Punching On A Single Platform
Murata Machinery says its Motorum 2558 Hybrid laser punch system combines high speed processing; reliable and accurate punching and forming; and flexible laser cutting. A CNC and laser oscillator are said to increase the system’s overall productivity by integrating bending, forming, tapping and other processes with standard punching and laser cutting operations. According to the company, the laser punch system provides a high-quality edge cut with features such as a cutting monitor, a user-friendly laser cutting head with a crash-protection function, a non-contact height sensor and a laser power control function for complicated edge cutting.

Live-Tool Turning Center For Flexible Line Planning

Gantry-Loaded CHuckers Turn Up Productivity
Faced with a bottleneck in its turning operation, this manufacturer of tapered bearings for railcars invested in automated, twin-spindle CNC chuckers. In addition to increasing productivity and improving safety, moving from a manual to an automated turning freed workers for reassignment to other tasks throughout the plant.
